Tom Blair: OK, just hold it for a minute

Ladies’ Day at the Del Mar Racetrack is history. As of this week, it’s “Ladies’ and Gentlemen Day” — the result of protest and pressure from the National Coalition For Men. Does that seem silly? Or are men getting even? Maybe they’ve attended a Chargers game in the past decade. As a result of an old lawsuit and protests by some female fans, the number of women’s restrooms at Qualcomm Stadium is now 50 — compared to 44 for men. Despite the fact that men outnumber women at pro football games. Some estimates put the ratio of men to women at 70-30.

Inked in: Mitt Romney brings his presidential fundraising tour to La Jolla on Aug. 20, but he won’t be hosting at his own La Jolla Shores manse.

Among chairs of the $1,000- to $2,500-a-couple brunch: Jenny Craig, Gerald Parsky, Red Scott, Roy Bell and seven assorted Romneys. … Marshall Faulk, who on Saturday will become the first San Diego State Aztec inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio, returns to San Diego Sept. 15 to celebrate with fans. He’ll be at Randy Jones’ Sports Grill in the Hazard Center to benefit Challenged Athletes and his own foundation supporting the Jackie Robinson YMCA and SDSU scholarships. … San Diego Democrat Gil Cabrera and Orange County Republican Michael Houston have teamed to provide bi-county, bipartisan legal advice to political clients. Cabrera’s politically correct experience: five years on the San Diego city Ethics Commission.

The grounded ear: Consistent with media attempts to grab as big a share of as many markets as possible, San Diego Magazine has partnered with Brooklyn-based franchisee HowAboutWe.com to launch a localized version of its dating service. … On the heels of Comic-Con comes the BlogHer convention, with more than 5,000 female bloggers descending on our city this week. Among attendees: “Twitter Moms” and Babble.com’s top 50 “Mommy Bloggers.” The opening-night party will be on the roof of the Gaslamp’s Stingaree nightclub. No kids.

Do the math: Robert Harutunian is a retired math teacher, not an IRS agent. As several readers point out, his calculation of Chargers safety Eric Weddle’s buying power with a new $40 million contract did not account for taxes and other fees. So, Weddle could only buy about 27 La Jolla homes. Awww.
